Sarah: Yeah, but it’s still cold. My dad said we should use a fan to help.
莎拉:有啊,但還是冷。我爸說我們應該開電風扇。
fan(n.)電風扇
Mike: A fan? That sounds strange. Fans make things cooler, don’t they?
麥克:用電風扇?聽起來好奇怪。電風扇不是讓空氣更冷嗎?
Sarah: Not exactly. Warm air rises, so if you point the fan at the ceiling, it pushes the heat down.
莎拉:不完全是。暖空氣會往上跑,所以如果你把電風扇對著天花板,就能把暖氣往下推。
